Letters to the Editor: October 12

DEAR EDITOR: I am writing to respond to the recent letter to the editor written regarding our county comissioner race.

I have known this young man most of his life. Not only is his integrity impeccable, but he will keep his word. I question his opponent's.

For the first time in a long, long time, someone has inspired me. His youth is just what we need. Don't let us dismiss him because of it. John Kennedy was young, too!

I am a 71-year-old woman who has voted in many elections, known many candidates professionally and personally but this Cody Engelhaupt has inspired me like no one else. He makes me believe that this time, "Our youth can do it."

One only needs to stop and think what each one of us was doing at his age, and maybe rethink our negative thoughts.

Some of us forget that our commissioners serve the whole county, not just farmers.

We complain about our youth and when one comes along that can step up to the plate and do the job in an honest way, he is rebucked.

No one cares where Samber spent the money. What we care is that he did. Just because agriculture is a major part of Logan County's economy does not vindicate us from our wrongs.

Mr. Wright's interpretation of what Cody said is not what he meant! Any intelligent person knows that.

What Mr. Wright needs is not what our county needs. Our county needs Cody Engelhaupt to be our commissioner.

Minds needed to support Caring Hands

DEAR EDITOR: It is less than a month until the 12th annual Community Caring Hands, Inc. (CCHI) Trivia Contest. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage trivia buffs to participate in this year's challenge. It will be held at the Sterling Elks Lodge on Saturday, Nov. 3. There will be a cash bar and snacks at 6:30 p.m. with the contest beginning at 7 p.m. We are usually done by 9:30 to 10 p.m.

As in past years, the teams are limited to a maximum of six members. Team entry fee is $180. There is a traveling trophy for the top team and prizes for the winning team members. We will also have additional prizes for second place, last place and most creative team name. There will be eight rounds of nine questions each with no subject designation.

This is CCHI's only fundraiser each year. The proceeds go to further our mission of providing minor home repairs and renovations to homeowners who are unable or who cannot afford to make such repairs himself or herself. This past fiscal year we completed 10 home repair projects at no cost to our clients. We had more than 400 donated hours and spent in excess of $8,000 on these projects.

Your entry in this fun event will help our organization complete its mission and give you and your teammates an enjoyable evening of laughs and competition. Please round up a team of friends or work associates and join us in the fun. Entry forms are available by contacting Dave Conley at (970) 520-3840 or (970) 522-1319 or Karen Torres at the Family Resource Center at (970) 526-2439.

OUARZAZATE, Morocco (AP) — The people are restive, the priesthood is scheming and a fanatic band of insurgents known as the zealots are plotting assassinations — and now to make matters worse, the body of a condemned cult-leader known as Jesus has disappeared from the tomb, apparently following some ancient prophecy.
